How an Active Everywhere Database Accelerates Hybrid Cloud

The relational database management system (RDBMS), which has been the dominant model for database management for almost half a century, is struggling to meet today's business needs. Traditional databases were designed for structured data sets and not for fast-moving, highly distributed and flexible data needs of modern businesses. NoSQL databases have emerged as an alternative solution due to their ability to process massive amounts of distributed data in real time without any downtime. However, these systems still rely on a master-slave data architecture that introduces bottlenecks and potential points of failure. To address this issue, DataStax Enterprise (DSE) was created, an Active Everywhere database built on Apache Cassandra's masterless architecture. DSE provides effortless scaling, continuous availability, and seamless multi-cloud deployments, making it a suitable solution for modern businesses dealing with large amounts of data.
